Contact your legislators to vote NO on HB 5008—Could get called to a vote this week. Law-enforcement agents in schools harms safety, security & the educational experience of students—in particular Black & Latinx low-income, students w/disabilities & LGBTQ+ students. #CopsOutCPS

Good morning radicals & revolutionaries! Yes you may see us at protest, yes we demand justice for all marginalized communities, yes we are abolitionist! But where our hearts & souls lie is in radical love & healing justice! We want our people liberated, healthy & thriving! 🧵👇🏾
Happy Birthday to the late Coretta Scott King. She was an author, activist, civil rights leader and the wife of Martin Luther King Jr. She wasn’t just the wife of an American hero, she was an icon in her own right.
It feels like every tragedy that our city faces is now viewed through the lens of "how can I capitalize on this for my side?" Everyone speaks in definitive statements and believes they have moral superiority. There's ppl counting on us. We gotta do better
As the first woman and first Black official to hold her office, Clerk Yarborough was a trailblazer in every sense of the word. She passed monumental legislation, worked tirelessly for our County, and was a mentor to so many My thoughts are with her family and loved ones tonight

You moved to the suburbs and got the schools we are working to create in Chicago. You are mad because we want this for our students, families, and careers. They are called Sustainable Community Schools and yes the people who work in our schools are amazing.

Police in schools do not make schools safer, and we call on our state legislators to oppose HB 5008, currently being debated in Springfield. Read the full statement from our Executive Committee here.
It is fucking outrageous to tell a Black woman to be mama of this country given the fact that Black women were enslaved and caretaking white babies, breastfeeding the children of owners. For many years, for BW, nanny-work to white families was all that was legally available.
Good morning radicals & revolutionaries! Yes you may see us at protest, yes we demand justice for all marginalized communities, yes we are abolitionist! But where our hearts & souls lie is in radical love & healing justice! We want our people liberated, healthy & thriving! 🧵👇🏾
